Aaron'S'tang · Apr 28, 2006

Hey I want to order a short antenna because mine is so big it's always floppin in the wind. I think 8 inch is to small, andbody have 14" ? Is that the way to go? Want to order in a few minutes so come on, dont be shy

I got a universal shorie at Pep-boys, it has adapters. Looks better than the flag pole that comes on the car. There are also antenne setups that go along the windshields, so there is no pole sticking up from the fender.

How'd you do that?

Bad92GT · Apr 28, 2006

done it to mine as well.. the top ball piece on the end of it will knock off.. use your imagination on how to get it off the antenna.. then cut where you want it.. then take it in a vice.. hit the ball back on with a hammer.. i took mine and stripped it and polished it up.. looks like billet

Paint thinner or wire brush? I think I'll do that tonoght and find some batteries form the camera and show you what I've done before I get too drunk.

Antenna in my hand. how get ball off?????????

87_GT · Apr 28, 2006

to get the ball off i just put my antenna in a vice and then took the claw part of a hammer to it. but be careful because that ball will come shooting off and you do not want to lose it.

Aaron'S'tang · Apr 28, 2006

O)k needs some help. How do I get the ball off?????

Mustang5L5 · Apr 28, 2006

find something small you can slip the antenna through and drop it so that the ball will hit it and try to knock it up. A fork might work well too.

When you get it off, cut antenna to proper lenght, file a bezel to the end, slip the ball on and pound it on the floor.

And the ball is off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Flew into the kitchen closet and I had to move a bunch of **** to find it but I got it. Hack saw or wire cutter to shorten ???????

iwashmycar · Apr 28, 2006

hack saw....i had to grind it a little too since the antenna gets fatter towards the bottom

Roland69 · Apr 28, 2006

That's the link I was looking for. I did this to my 95 and I stripped the black off with the wire wheel on the bench grinder than polished it with the buffing wheel on the bench grinder. Looked pimp lol

Aaron'S'tang · Apr 28, 2006

Yeeeahhh Booouuuyyyy. Biiiggggg Pimpppin

Roland69 · Apr 28, 2006

No, I was just replying to the pimp looking phrase in your last post..............................Update, Hack saw on teh kitchen table with a towel and some napkins and it is now cut to 17" from point that it leaves the car. About matches the roof line. If it looks good, great, it saved me $40, if not, then I guess I'll just break down and buy one. I look for batteries and try to take pic.
